Electric tongue jack...Dead battery????
My new trailer has an electric tongue jack. I just went over to drop something off. The battery is dead. What does that mean for the tongue jack? Will I have to use a manual crank? Or, will it run if ...

If you cannot crank a manual jack 30 rotations up to pre-load the bars, you loose you man card. :) I am 72 years old and just do it because it needs to be done.
I suspect the manual jacks are on their way out because the electric model is a popular feature that can be advertised as "standard" and the market will accept the price.
Like power windows in autos, they are handy and popular enough to be installed on all models.
However, to say a manual jack is some form of drudgery is bit of an overstatement.
I will watch you cry as you surrender your 'Man" card.
